15:37 2nd Half 54-42

Amu Saaka wears a mask (i.e. Mookie Watkins last year). He broke his nose after an elbow from Hamady N'diaye in USF's 23 point win over Rutgers. (which by the way could be one of the best names in the Big East). Anyway, Saaka's been rather silent today but did just hit a three to cut SU's lead to just single digits.

SU is in a man-to-man. It worked. USF ran the shot clock to two before missing on a three. Jonny Flynn hit a two the other way. 51-40 Syracuse leads.

AO immediately got called for his second foul back on defense. Not a bad job so far considering he's in a grueling match-up with Gransberry. The two combine for 11 points. They both have six rebounds. Make it seven for Gransberry. He just boxed out AO rather nicely.
